Your First Stop for This Year’s Flu Season.
Most people are aware influenza, or the flu, is a respiratory illness that affects your body’s airways. However, many do not realize the flu can cause not only minor irritation but may evolve into severe illness and even lead to death.
The symptoms of the flu may include the following:
- fever or chills
- coughing
- sore throat
- runny or stuffy nose
- muscle or body aches
- headaches
- fatigue
- and further complications
Additionally, sometimes children may experience vomiting and diarrhea. And, you do not have to be running a fever to have the flu, as formerly believed.
